• 1 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoons Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 tablespoons Toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the green cabbage and red cabbage into fine shreds. Place both in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Peel and julienne the carrots. Add them to the bowl with the cabbage.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onions, both the white and green parts, and mix them into the bowl.

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the ponzu sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger.

Step 5

Season the dressing with kosher salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing everything thoroughly to ensure even coating.

In a small dry skillet, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Add the toasted almonds to the slaw and toss lightly to combine.
